Dec. 12--Two groups of Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them into the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home.
On the one-month anniversary of their arrival into Tijuana, caravan members are pressing the United States to take action but they are dwindling in numbers since more than 6,000 first arrived to the city's shelters.
Approximately 700 have voluntarily returned to their country of origin, 300 have been deported, and 2,500 have applied for humanitarian visas in Mexico, according to Xochtil Castillo, a caravan member who met with Mexican officials Tuesday. The group of unaccounted migrants, about 3,500 are presumed to have either crossed illegally into the United States, moved to other Mexican border cities, or simply fallen through the cracks.
Mexico's National Institution of Migration did not respond to a request to verify those numbers Tuesday.
The first group demanding action, numbering about 100, arrived at the U.S. Consulate at about 11 am Tuesday. The migrants said they were asking that the Trump Administration pay them $50,000 each or allow them into the U.S.
When asked how the group came up with the $50,000 figure, organizer Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa of Honduras, said they chose that number as a group.

The sense of entitlement is astonishing.
In this particular case, the Honduran Supreme Court exhibited courage and determination.
Kind of makes your point, doesn't it.
Consistency has never been a Leftist virtue...
And a pony...
OK WITH US..
Let Michael Moore and Nancy and Chuck and Hillary and the rest of 'em do the work of assimilating illegals.
Whatever it cost - we want them living next door to the damn 'elites'...
They'll be right next door - ogling the grandkids of liberal 'elites'... and checking out their fancy cars. Share the work of democracy, 'ELITES' - SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE.
Maybe a counter offer, billing them for the amount the U.S. government has had to spend because of their antics.
A bill of about $100,000 each should do it. Payable upon them setting foot in the United States...
Or else what?
When issuing such demands there is inevitably an "or else", so what is it?
I don’t take kindly to demands.
Wow !! Talk about notion that "there is nothing new under the sun!" Great poem!
